Typewriter Talk / Olivetti 80 Lexikon

**Posted by Laurenz van Gaalen** 20-1-2021 14:53:09

My Lexikon is equipped with a normal tabulator. When I use the tab button, the carriage moves one space beyond the tab position. If I set my first tab at 5 and use the tab button, the carriage move to 6. This is not what I am used to. Is this normal? Any thoughts about the matter?

No, it should not do this. If you set a tab. stop at '5', it should stop at '5', not ''6'. The most likely explanation is that the tab. set finger is bent.

Thanks. About the tab finger, that was my first thought too. However, it looked normal to me. I will take a second look at it, maybe I missed something.
